The source for this article was Pastor von Bergmann of Baku, who, having lived among the "Mohammedans" for a good deal of time, had gained some understanding as to their beliefs:
"But, by the rejection of the great grace of God through Mohamed, Christians and all other unbelievers have become such gross criminals that their lives have no worth or value whatever...It is a terrible sin to regard the Christians as equal to a Mohammedan or to consider them entitled to any rights over against the latter."
